Are you fucking serious? The third? You rerelease Independence Fucking Day and you don't release it on the fourth of July? That's like some sacrilege right there.

Notsureifserious but the original released on the 3rd also.
 
Why do people keep referencing the cgi?


If I recall, some of the coolest things in the movie were actually built to scale. The extended version of the film has that scene where they are taking a short tour of the inside of the small battleships, and seeing all the weird technology. Also, the design of the Aliens and those bio suits they wear are phenomenal.


The underrating of this movie is just jaw dropping. All of the issues with the virus plot line are gimmicks in themselves, and pretty much the reason I hate visiting imdb.

Are people still parroting the borderline casual racist "earf" thing?

I don't think the misconception comes from anything racist, it comes from the common image of Will with a cigar in his mouth that's always posted alongside it, and people are "remembering" that's when he says it.

I do love both sides of the "earf" argument. If anything I have more of an issue with the aliens running an operating system that Jeff Goldblum can hack into.

The aliens hacked first

Jeff Goldblum uses their hacks to hacks them back
 
Why can't 3D fucking die already?

Since "Earf" is apparently just slang for Earth, and that is the only reason people are "parroting" it, I would think bringing it up as racist is sort of the equivalent of shooting yourself in the foot.

Uh, what?

If 3d did not require glasses, I would really be confused by this post. Then again, such a minor inconvenience also subjects me to criticism. 3d quality movies are usually very enjoyable.


Maybe you had a bad experience. Spy kids was indeed very terrible.

I don't believe you that you didn't like it. In 1995 nobody cared about how crappy summer blockbuster movies were (well I suppose they still don't).

I was in the same boat. That initial trailer made it look like the greatest thing ever, with the explosion throwing cars up into the air, etc. Then as we got closer to release, we found out Will Smith, Lone Starr, and Cousin Eddie were in it... eyes twitched, but we still held onto hope. Then we saw it. People cheered after the attack, but everything after that was hooooly shit levels of bad.
 
Watched this not too long ago for the first time in many years, and it really represents everything that was just terrible about the '90s. Its just embarrassing to watch. I can't believe how obsessed I was with this movie upon release, but then I was a dumb 13 year old.

I was 14. I could tell a good movie from bad. Even though I knew it was a turd, despite the great effects

I would never call Independence Day a good movie. But I think it's a great time. When I saw it I think I was 13. At that age I had no jaded mental constructs about filmmaking or screenwriting, I just enjoyed seeing shit explode. Independence Day, then, for me at the time was a masterpiece. I'm not going to write that off now that I'm older. I will say that in the opinion of my 13 year old self, the movie was great. My 29 year old self disagrees, but I still find it to be a very enjoyable film.
 
At least they'll have to do a remaster first. Independence Day has one of the worst-looking video transfers on a major studio Blu-ray release.
 
The one fucking 3D re-release I will be lined up for day one. Independence Day is probably my favorite movie of all-time. I saw it three times in the theater and have it memorized after countless re-watches on VHS, DVD and blu ray. Hopefully this means Emmerich is preparing to gear up for the sequels.

joke post?
 
Wow this is somewhat...surprising.

Perhaps this doesn't speak well for the sequels.
